Is this the year the City League breaks through?

It has been more than two decades since the City League has won a state football title. Kapaun was the last to do it 1987 when it won a 5A title. The last 6A title was won by Wichita East in 1983, the second of two consecutive titles for the Blue Aces.

This year there are several City League teams that could break through and contend for the title.

Southeast returns 14 total starters including superstar Joseph Randle who has a chance to be first team all-league on both sides of the football.

Northwest has Demarcus Robinson and an offensive line head coach Weston Schartz think could be one of the best Northwest has seen.

Heights lost a lot, but Rick Wheeler has the Falcons contending every year it seems.

Bishop Carroll has Blake Bell and a proven system. Unfortunately it also has to deal with Hutchinson.

So if a title is going to happen for the City League this year it will likely have to come out of 6A as Hutchinson is the clear favorite to romp through Class 5A. Class 6A is wide open this year and it is anybodies guess as to who could win it.

If I had to pick a City League team to make a run at the title I think Northwest has the best shot. The Grizzlies will be able to run the ball whenever they want with Robinson and a big, experienced line. If the defense can hold up its end of the deal then Northwest will have a good shot.

Which City League team do you think has a chance to make a run at a state title or do you think it will be another year without a title for the City League?
